As usual, this is the opposite of what needs to happen. There are NO "bad" words. There are no words that are so magical in their very essence that merely uttering them casts spells on everyone around. Words are NEVER EVER violence. Violence is violence. For frick's sake...we all used to understand this not that long ago.

The problem with attempting to "ban" certain words, or worse trying to ban them but only when certain people use them (not what Kyrie is doing here admittedly) is that there will always be an ever growing list of words that are going to be placed on the list, and to deny that is just missing human nature.

The better bet would be for people to grow thicker skin and get over it and simply stop allowing mouth sounds to bother them at all. Others could also willing not be assholes to each other as well...but banning words and making them taboo will not get rid of them, only empower them more.

** BTW, we're such a giant group of gaping pussies now that it took 5 minutes searching to find an image with the ACTUAL quote, and not some soft variant of words being even worse that sticks and stones.

I believe this stems from last night when Dennis Schroeder appeared to use the word directed at Kyrie. Kyrie didn’t seem to like that LINK

Watched the game and what was bothering Kyrie was all those points the Lakers and Dennis the Menace were scoring. Irving is losing it emotionally. He's still relatively young and it's like a ticking timebomb with his interpretation of life. Constantly leaving the team in the middle of the season "family issues" to resolve. He's a leaking individual and as he cycles through life it's getting obvious as the pressure ratchets up that he's holding it together with chewing gum and scotch tape at this point.

Way too many pussies out there to do this. People get called all kinds of words. It’s how the individual reacts to any word that needs to be addressed. Never had a word make me freak out. Amazing that some do.

I dont care to ever say the word. The word would be gone from relevancy if it wasnt for the black community though

wop, dago, k word, g word, etc have all but disappeared. Because people are respectful and have removed it from their use

The n word goes strong because it is still an every day word within one american community
